Dark Parables: Rise of the Snow Queen CE Overview & Download link

for $ 13.99 only!

Good day, my dear friends. Today I will review newest PC/Mac game from Blue Tea Games (Developer) and Big Fish Games (Publisher) - Dark Parables: Rise of the Snow Queen. As usual for A-class HOG, Big Fish firstly released Collector's Edition only. Standard edition will be available only a month later. And as usual for me, I'm offering you to start our overview with gameplay video.

I liked the videosequence of this game very much. Storyline of Dark Parables: Rise of the Snow Queen in the end may be similiar with some other casual games but beautiful snowed landscapes making you forget about it. Great detailed animation, wonderful weather effects - i.e. snowstorm, sunny winter day etc. Great graphics, really.

This is already third part of Dark Parables game series. It's easy to see that if someone creating third part of the game it means that first and second parts were successful. First part was called Dark Parables: Curse of the Briar Rose, second - Dark Parables: The Exiled Prince.
In 2010 first part - Dark Parables: Curse of the Briar Rose was released. It included clever puzzle, beautiful graphics and truly wonderful Cursed object minigame that was called on of the greatest minigames ever. Curse of the Briar Rose told us the story of the Sleeping Beauty, but more spooky and dark way. Prince kissed everyone and removed the curse of eternal sleep and briars that captured the whole kingdom. The only person who stayed unaffected by prince's kiss was the sleeping beauty herself. And now, when about thousand years has passed, briars has returned and you must find out, why. Game was very good and interesting, so soon sequel was developed.

In Dark Parables: The Exiled Prince, released in the beginning of this year, you were investigating the disappearance of the chancellor's daughter and suddenly uncovering the long lost kingdom of the exiled Frog Prince! You find out that centuries ago beautiful girl kissed a frog and it become a handsome prince. But it ends badly and now exiled prince living in a black forest, yet again as a frog. Game was even more interesting, then the first part, graphics was greatly improved. So now we are facing the third part. As you may notice, stories of various parts isn't connected, so you can play any of the games independently.

In the third game, Dark Parables: Rise of the Snow Queen you are investigate the disappearance of children. Once defeated and destroyed, evil Snow Queen resurrected from the snow ashes and attacking nearby villages. Eagles and wolves are helping her, snow giants are protecting her and her powers are growing! You must stop Snow Queen before her army will be big enough and her supernatural powers - strong enough to break Snowfall Kingdom to pieces!

In Dark Parables: Rise of the Snow Queen to explore the Snowfall Kingdom you will break through walls of ice, survive deadly snowstorm, troll and wolf attack, explore various frozen locations with frozen humans and animals. Some of them may be helped, others - no. And remember: in evil hands even beautiful green apple may be deadly and dreadful.

Summing up, Dark Parables: Rise of the Snow Queen game is good. It's not so gloomy us previous parts (because of the white snow everywhere) and some parts of the story were used in other HOGs, but the most important part of any game - gameplay is practically perfect. Various puzzles and minigames (mostly logical enough), beautiful Hidden object scenes, moving according to onscreen map (like in good old-school RPG's) - great, really great. Try it, and maybe you like it just as I do.
